kj, honestly I have blood kin not far off, but the relationships are merely lukewarm. The kind where one would show up for a funeral and not bad mouth the deceased or moan over lack of close relationship.

All of my siblings were brought up in the same household I was and I moved out and away first but wound up back in this city as they all left it for pastures I could never feed in.

As to the seeing I can see where they are blind and remain willfully ignorant of the nighttime of their places.

Grace if I know anything I know scars. Darkness I humbly submit is a blanket for them who can find reality's comfort within it. I see about equal amounts of daylight and darkness and find the silence of the night a comfort.

Alice we would have to set about defining the parameters of "family" I have blood and legal kin within a 110 mile radius. I rarely inhabit the same space as them. I fetch up where I am not where convention insists I be.

Sarah I wish I could say the narrative voice was by intent but truthfully I just got caught in the flow of the language. I appreciate the characteristics of the syntax and grammar of Noir style but not sure I truly comprehend it as something deeply ingrained.
